Savvy ways to stay employed during this global crisis
Roger A. Reid Ph.D. packs his articles with solid advice. Start your day earlier, strategize your productivity method, and do not succumb to apathy when low-priority tasks are present. Most importantly, never coast through your day. Why? The boss is watching. They must. The accountability of their department depends on your behavior. Bottom line — do your job.
His invaluable insight regarding business-related topics contains a real-life practical strategy that will uphold the test of time. He streamlines his experience in business by creating sentences devoted to sage-like wisdom about the business world with an underlying altruistic manner.
In his article “How You Use the First Hour of the Day May Determine if You Have a Job Tomorrow,” Dr. Reid assertively reminds the employed that their every step must follow a degree of professionalism despite any longevity at the company.
Some say that an employee is as good as their next favor. Dr. Reid cultivates practical life lessons to ensure job stability in every task, assignment, errand, meeting, and any other event where you receive payment.
” Adopt a professional attitude and keep the boss happy,” advises Dr. Reid.
Dr. Reid invites the reader to adopt his strategies so that you will know how to become a high-level professional. His advice will re-enforce you to align yourself with your priorities. Focusing on the first hour of the workday, Dr. Reid shows no discretion by pointing out the attitudes of some employees who share a sense of entitlement and special privilege.
Such employees spend the first hour adjusting to being at work by checking emails, Facebook, grabbing coffee, or conversing with coworkers. Dr. Reid challenges such behavior by incorporating methods to “readjust” to work before one walks through the door.
As Dr. Reid explains, “In the eyes of management, demonstrating those qualities consistently is the hallmark of a great employee.” The concept is simple but not easy.
Dr. Reid also emphasizes the nerve-racking task of giving presentations. Unlike the corporate puppets around him, he understands how people operate. He meets people at their level and helps them rise. His humility softens the employee perception of how professionalism appears, enabling them to be more at ease and on their game.
In this article, “4 Steps to Tame Your Nerves When Fear of Speaking Brings You to Your Knees,” Dr. Reid reveals his awareness of the anxiety accompanying public speaking. Once again, his helpful suggestions may turn an employee’s reluctance into a star speaker who dazzles the audience.
He firmly refutes anyone who believes “winging it” is an option with foresight, reflection, and compassion. The driving force behind success, he claims, is confidence. However, to become confident, Dr. Reid contends one must rehearse their speech until one achieves mastery of the subject.
Dr. Reid is a living example of how he writes: concise and thorough. Suggesting that breathing exercises, utilizing nervous energy into excitement, and engaging the audience to lead to a self-fulfilling prophecy of success. But only if you earn the confidence by unwavering determination.
And just as quickly as the reader learns how to stay employed, work effectively, and maintain an aura of professionalism, Dr. Reid teaches his readers how to leave a position with grace.
In his article,” The Worst Way to Leave a Company and Start Your Own Business,” Dr. Reid illustrates his own issues of being combative and angry as he left a longtime company. He cautions an employee to maintain a good repour with management and request both a reference and a letter of recommendation.
The discipline you must possess not to burn bridges while disgruntled requires great effort. Like the sound coming towards you builds anticipation of its arrival, the first instinct is to escape or rebel when the sound moves into the distance.
To achieve an amicable parting of ways, one must remain working at a level of productivity that is indispensable until the last day. And Dr. Reid reveals that any day may be your last day — so be prepared. Management is quick to terminate employment because the employee becomes a liability rather than an asset.
His article offers solutions for the job-seeker, such as remaining in contact with networking prospects. Dr. Reid eludes to the importance of maintaining a good reputation. He contends that avoid succumbing to the hostile feelings that rise to the surface when the end is near. By keeping an even temperament, opportunities arise which allow you to show interest in other companies, projects, or employers.
Dr. Reid's many more articles may supplement what you lack in life experience, allowing you to bypass drama and create an outcome that awakens your sense of purpose again.
The truth is that most people have to work, but the same majority may not know the intricate details of office politics and how to act. The accessibility of Dr. Reid’s wisdom, combined with his ability to write clearly, is a rare gift much like his character and as rich as his truth.
